In this season of miracles, consider this: On Dec. 10th, JWR heads toward completing our first decade of publishing.

This month, we'll be among the oldest surviving non-corporate sites on
the web.

A miracle? Well, maybe not in the biblical sense. But certainly one by modern standards. Consider how many other sites have come and gone. Ones that had millions invested in them have disappeared into the ether.

Yet JWR has survived another year and continues to significantly improve an already great resource.

COMING SOON: JWR will be re-launching with a fresh, sharp design and a state of the art technology upgrade

You've come to rely on JWR to be an eloquent and elegant exponent of the values you hold dear. You turn to us for articles that are often at odds with conventional wisdom because they reveal "inconvenient truths." Every day, JWR inspires while it entertains. Emboldens at the same time it advocates for reason. You have gained from JWR.

Most assume that an operation that publishes as much material as we do  and as often as we do  must be run by a team and backed by a well-funded corporation. It simply isn't so.

The key to JWR's success? Providing our readers the world over with the best content that suits your sensibilities and needs. But we also rely on lots of help from Above and the assistance of those Down Here.

GET READY FOR SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

As I write to you, JWR is in the process of a total overhaul. We will soon be re-launching with a fresh, sharp design and a state of the art technology upgrade.

Cynics say that miracles never happen. Unlike Divine miracles, integral to modern day ones is the human component. You count on JWR. Now we are counting on you.

In order to complete what we've started  indeed, for us to continue to improve and serve you  we need YOUR help.

Pause for a moment and recall all of the articles you've read this year that left you impressed and all of those you've forwarded to others. Remember that sense of gratification  and please act on those feelings.
